Before

Step One: Mist a sea salt spray (we used and love Surf Spray by Bumble and Bumble) throughout the hair for added texture and grip for braiding.

Step Two: Start creating one chunky fishtail on either side of the head. Secure each braided end with a horizontally placed hairpin to maintain braid-work. Once braids are complete. Mess them up with more sea salt spray to create that lived-in, messy feel.

Step Three: Begin knotting the two braids together and securing with the previously used bobby pins you used to hold your braids in place.
